 وَأَقُولُ فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ آيَاتُهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ المُنزَالُهُ وَأَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوْوَالُهُ الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشدوى النسيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى في هذه الألحة بإذن الله الكريم أريد أن أقوم بإذن الله الكريم أريد أن أتحدث ومتحدث عن هذه الألحة وإن شاء الله تعالى وإن today's lesson بإذن الله الكريم في هذه الألحة The first thing I want to speak about is rulings regarding praying in the house Some ahkam, some toji hat some advices I could give insha'Allah and I can share regarding praying inside the houses The second thing insha'Allah I want to speak about is Juma in the house Salatul Jumu'a وضع بعض الأسلحة بحيث أن يقوم بعملها في المنزل ، هذا هو الرئيس الثالث وضع الثالث الذي أريد أن نتحدث عنه هو الآذان ، الشخص الذي يقوم بعمل أن الكثير من of us are hearing in Muslim countries أن الآذان has been done some of the things related to that وضع الثالث الذي أريد أن نتحدث عنه some innovative things that people are doing at this particular time thinking that this is the way to remove the coronavirus and this is an innovative way that has no basis in our religion so insha'Allah those are the four things I want to speak about in this lecture insha'Allah let's start with the first which is praying inside the houses many of us are saddened and hurt by the fact that we can't pray the Jama'a in the masjid that we've been deprived from that privilege and that honour that virtue and that feeling of praying with our brothers in the masjid and sisters praying with their sisters in the masjid all of that has now been brought to an end and it saddens anyone who has tasted the sweetness of an iman anyone who knows the joy you receive when you pray in those congregations when you pray Fajr in the masjid you pray Isha in the masjid you pray Zohr in the masjid you pray Asr in the masjid and Maghrib when you pray all of your Salahs in the masjid how it feels the feeling you get from it the increase of iman when you pray Fajr in the masjid and you sit there until sunrise and then you leave all of that has now been taken away from you and it hurts many of us but I want to reassure you and tell you to rest assured that إن شاء الله تعالى your reward is still with you even if you're not doing it العلامة محمد بن صالح العثيمين he said المعذورة يكتب له أدر الجماعة the individual who is excused who the Sharia has excused he gets the reward of the congregation he used to participate in and he's going to get the reward كاملاند الشخصة complete reward إذا كان من عادتي أن يصلي مع الجماعة but that is with the condition that he was an individual who used to pray in the Jama'a and he used to pray in the congregation لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم based on the statement of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said إذا مريض العبد أو سافرة if a person becomes sick or he travels كتب له مثل ما كان يعمل صحيح مقيمة and he will get the reward or she will get the reward of what they used to do when they were healthy and when they were resident sickness and being a traveler has deprived you from some things because of a sickness or unable to do particular things because of being a traveler you can't do particular things they used to do don't worry the Prophet said عليه الصلاة والسلام you will get the reward of whatever you used to do when you were healthy or when you were resident the coronavirus or as known as the COVID-19 is and is considered يعتبر من الأعدار الشرعية it is considered from the legislated things in the religion or is from those things which the شريعة has excused us for COVID-19 is from the things that excused is a person from participating in the جماعة or going to the congregational prayer it is so don't worry rest assured العلام على الدين المردوي أبو الحسن إنه كتاب الإنصاف في معرفة الراجح من الخلاف A great book where he mentions the خلافات that are present and the different روايات of الإمام أحمد رحمه الله he does أفق المقارن في ماذه الإمام أحمد إلا بك الإنصاف and he is واكن with the كتاب المقنع باي ابن قدام المقدسي رحمه الله على كل حال المردوي يسرن كتاب الإنصاف في معرفة الراجح من الخلاف he says ويعذر في ترك الجموعة والجماعة المريض بلا نزاع ويعذر أيضا في تركه ما لخوف حدوث المراضي فلقد يسرن جموعة وجماعة بلا نزاع ويعذر أيضا يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن يسرن when we look at it, we are scared and we are fearful that if we go to the masjid and we come in contact with some people that this illness might come from them to us and so with the permission of Allah, of course, then we are now permitted to not to participate in the Jumu'a and the Jama'a. So what is it that is needed from us? What is needed from us is to pray at home now, to pray the salawat in the house, to pray the Jumu'a in the house. But some people forget some particular rules and regulations that need to be done. From the things that need to be done whilst at home is أخذوا الزينا. Adorning yourself and beautifying yourself for the prayer. Even if you're praying by yourself, my brothers and my sisters, you have to make sure that you wear decent clothes. You're not allowed to wear raggedy clothes. You have stains on it. And you say, I'm just going to wear the raggedy. This is الله عز و جل in which you're going to stand in front of. Beautify yourself. Dress well. Also, there are other evidences that show that if there is a fear that you can pray in your houses. الله سبحانه و تعالى He says in the Qur'an و أوحينا إلى موسى و أخيه أن تبوأ لقومكم بمصر بيوتة وجعلوا بيوتكم قبالة. الله سبحانه و تعالى He tells us و أوحينا إلى موسى و أخيه we have sat down upon موسى and his brother Haroon. And موسى and Haroon they are from a people known as Ben Israel. And Ben Israel they were subjugated and they were under the tyrannical leader Pharaoh. And Pharaoh was harming Ben Israel. He placed in their hearts fear. He terrorized them. Pharaoh. و لذلك الله تباركه و تعالى When did he say to them و جعلوا بيوتكم قبالة. Because they couldn't go outside and pray. الله تباركه و تعالى Because of the fear of Pharaoh. الله تباركه و تعالى He told them to pray in their houses. And the coronavirus can be taken a qiyas from this. That the fear of other people's illnesses coming to us allows us to pray in our houses. مجايد ابن جبل الرحمة الله he said كانوا لا يصلون إلا خائفين. They never used to pray except fearful. Because they were scared of Pharaoh. They were very scared of him. So they used to only pray scared. فأميروا أن يصلوا في بيوتين. And then they were commanded to pray in their houses. Because of the fear that they had for Pharaoh. الله تباركه و تعالى He said و جعلوا بيوتكم قبالة. Then go pray in your houses. So the علماء they took from this the permissibility of if a person is scared he can pray in his house. Whether he's scared of an enemy. Whether he's scared of an illness. Whether he's scared of anything other than that. فيا is one of the things that allows you to pray in your houses. Also what we need to be doing إن شاء الله تعالى is that the men who are praying at home that they pray with their families in a congregation, in a جماعة based on the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ he said صلاة الرجل مع الرجل أزكى من صلاتي وحدة. Praying with one man praying with another man is more greater than him praying by himself. و صلاة الرجل مع الرجلين. And a man praying with two men is better أزكى من صلاتي مع الرجل then praying with one man. وما كانوا أكثر فاوة أحبوا إلى الله. And the more that they are the more it's beloved to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So if there's men in the house then it's wedge for them to pray congregation. If two men or more are in the house it's obligatory that they make a جماعة. And this is the view held by ألمام أحمد رحمه الله وعطى ووزاعي وعبو ثورا المقدام ويبنو تيميا. This is what the opinion that they held. They held the opinion that if men two men or more are in the house they pray جماعة. They pray جماعة. Also what I would encourage each and every one of you is to place or to make a particular place in the house known as the مصلاة. Don't just pray anywhere randomly. It is better to have one particular room that everyone prays in. If your house is مشاء الله big enough then make a little مصلاة for the family that they come to. You keep that place طاهر and clean and they come and they pray in that area. This is something which number one is taken from the Sunnah without a doubt. And it also keeps that spirit of going to the mystery that kind of mindset that you're going somewhere. You're leaving one room and you're going to the other room. And Imam Malik narrated in his موطب. This is where it's taken from in the Sunnah. عاليبنو شهاب أزهريو عن محمود ابن الربيع الأنصاري. He said that عتبان ابنو ماليك كان يأم قومه who used to lean his people وهو أعمى and he was a blind man. وأنه قال لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and one day عتبان ابنو ماليك and set to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he set to the prophet إنها تكون ظلمة والمطر وسيلو or messenger of Allah wind a flood rain darkness happens at night وانا رجل ضريرون. I'm a blind man. فصلي يا رسول الله في بيتي oh messenger of Allah come and pray in my house for me مكانا أتخيده مصلا a place where I can take it as a مصلا فجاءه رسول الله the prophet came to him فقال أين تحب أن أصلي the prophet came to his house and the prophet said where would you want me to pray for you in فأشار له إلى مكان the man pointed at a place in his house and he said oh messenger of Allah pray over here for me فصلا فيه رسول الله so the prophet this shows us that it's good and it's something we should try to do which is to take a particular place in our house known as the مصلا also the مصلا does not take the أحكام and the rulings of the masjid so you don't do تحيط المسجد women who are on their menstruation or on their بلسنة and so on they can sit there and they can go there it doesn't take the ruling of the masjid okay it doesn't what does the جماعة start from the جماعة بثنين فأكثر or more people is a جماعة and it is also obligatory to straighten the lines behind the imam so if the imam is leading he goes forward and everyone else goes behind him the children they have to also line behind the they have to line behind the imam they have to if they reach the age of seven or more they have to line behind the imam this is based on that which the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did with Anas Ibn Malik and the orphan and Jabir and Jabbar who are from the Ansar people the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he put them behind him عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم so two or more people they go behind the imam but if it's one person he has to stand on the right side of the imam as the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did to عبد الابس في صلاة in the night prayer when عبد الابس stood on the left side of the prophet the prophet grabbed him and the prophet put him on the right side so if it's one person you have to stand on the right side of the imam if it's more than one men you pray behind you pray behind the imam إن شاء الله تعالى as for the woman if she wants to pray in the Jama'a with the men she prays behind the men who are behind the imam and the evidence for this is Anas Ibn Malik رضي الله تعالى عنه he and an orphan and his mother أم السلام they wanted to pray صلى الله عليه وسلم and so what happened was the prophet was at the front and then Anas Ibn Malik and the orphan were after the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and after the orphan and Anas was أم السلام so those three lines a line for the imam a line for Anas and the orphan and his mother أم السلام and that's what he said he said فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وصففت وليتي وراءه he said he said the prophet was stood in front of us we prayed behind the prophet me and the orphan and my mother she prayed behind us so the women are not allowed to pray with the men a woman is never allowed to pray next to the men so for example if a husband is the imam he can't say to his wife I'm your محرم here you can pray next to me no pray behind him okay and if the people who are prayed behind the imam are her brothers and her cousins her brothers sorry and her sons she also can't she can't pray next to them she has to go behind them the woman always has to be at the back regardless of who those men are whether they are محرم or not it doesn't matter also every prayer should be prayed at the time it comes in as soon as it comes in we should pray so when دور comes in we pray straight away فجر comes in which pray straight away I said when it comes in straight away we should pray we should pray as soon as it comes in only prayer is صلاة العشاء صلاة العشاء should be delayed the sunnis to delay صلاة العشاء and the delay should not pass منتصف الليل the middle of the night it should not pass the middle of the night also the إقامة should be done after the prayers so every prayer that you pray you should do the إقامة also the اذكار should be done after the prayer when you pray the صلاة in the house as a جماعة you should do your اذكار after the after the prayer and also do not leave off my beloved brothers and sisters the سنة نورا واتب the sunnis the 12 ركع سنة that we should be praying every day also there is no قنوط when plays and pandemics happen there was no قنوط there was no قنوط that was done when the امواس took place okay at the time of رضي الله عنه the طاعون the plague that happened in شام no one done قنوط in the prayer so there was no there's no narration that says that was done so there should be no قنوط done by anyone because if there was evidence for that the early generation would have done so also the strongest opinion is the Imam of a child a little child can lead the prayer he's seven years old or even six years old but he's مميز he's a صبيون مميز he's a child but he can distinguish things okay he hasn't reached age of puberty but he's مميز and he knows things he's a clever sharp child he can lead the prayer and the evidence for this is the حريث of عمر مسلمة he said he said they looked around they couldn't find anyone who had they put me forward and I was only six or seven years old now we're going to move on to the second part of our صلاة الجموع صلاة الجموع my beloved brothers and sisters is not allowed to be done in the house صلاة الجموع cannot be prayed in the house so what is it that you must do it is obligatory to pray in the house صلاة الغوري صلاة الغور has to be prayed and it has to be prayed at its time okay فورك ع and it should be prayed after the zinnith بعد الزوال after the zinnith فريد as as you all know my beloved brothers and sisters is a great day it has virtues it has unique things that should be done this day but from the things that shouldn't be done on Friday since we're not going to be praying in the masjid is that we shouldn't shower if you want you can shower but you can't shower the غصة الجموع because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he told us he said if one of you comes to the جموع then do غصة شاوة so the shower ring is done for the prayer and not for the day okay so we don't do the غصة because of the Friday but we do it for the جموع prayer ابن عبدالبر رحمه الله he transmitted a consensus on that and ابن ملاقن transmitted that consensus ابن ملاقن he transmitted that consensus the third point that I wanted to speak about إن شاء الله تعالى in this lecture is the Adan the call to prayer so there's some things إن شاء الله تعالى I want to discuss in the Adan the Adan of this moment that we're living in or this particular time is that we hear especially in Muslim countries where the Adan is heard loudly we hear the Mu'addin saying to the people صلوا في الريحالي اما صلوا في بيوتكم pray in your houses so إن شاء الله تعالى I want to cover how should one make this Adan if he's a Mu'addin of a masjid how should he do it the way that this statement which is صلوا في بيوتكم should be said is in three ways the first way is he or the first way is he does not say حي على الصلاة and he doesn't say حي على الفلاح instead he says صلوا في بيوتكم that's one way the second way way is that he says حي على الصلاة and he says حي على الفلاح and after it he says صلوا في بيوتكم and the third one is he does the complete Adan and once he finishes the Adan he says صلوا في بيوتكم and the Imam رحمه الله إن شرح صح مسلم he said that all of these forms are permissible all of them the sunnah has come regarding it but the Imam رحمه الله he said that the best form is to do the Adan first and complete the Adan and once the Adan is finished the Mu'addin says to the people صلوا في بيوتكم pray in your houses and the sunnah is that he says it twice وقوفا للنصي so we can stand over the text and follow the as the text says صلوا في بيوتكم صلوا في بيوتكم he says it twice the statement of أليمامو نوويو is he said رحمه الله he said أحسنو it is greater for the person to say it after the Adan ليبقى نظم الأذان على وضعه so the Adan can remain in its form and then say it after that صلاة الفجر in many places they do two Adans the Adan for صلاة الفجر is two Adans which one should you say صلوا في بيوتكم صلوا في بيوتكم should be saying the second Adan of صلاة الفجر the reason for that is because that is the time that the Salah has entered also what I want to mention here is the person who is hearing the Mu'addin say the Adan he should say everything that the Mu'addin says فقولوا مثلما يقولوا المؤذن was the prophet said say everything that the Mu'addin says but when the Mu'addin says صلوا في بيوتكم the person he doesn't say anything he doesn't respond by saying صلوا في بيوتكم with the Mu'addin because there is no evidence from the prophet or from the companions when the Mu'addin say صلوا في بيوتكم when the Mu'addin say صلوا في رحالكم that the people say exactly what the Mu'addin is saying there's no evidence for that so everything else say with the Mu'addin حي على الصلاة حي على الفلاح يقول but when he say صلوا في بيوتكم you say nothing what about Friday there is no Jumu'a the masjid they normally make two Adans what should they do in this situation we say that only one Adan should be done on the day of Jumu'a on Friday because there is no Salat Al Jumu'a so it should be like a normal day like Buhur there should not be two Adans I want to insha'Allah go to the final and last point that I want to discuss insha'Allah the fourth point which is تنبيه I want to bring to your attention على بعض البداع المحدثة some newly invented matters people do عند نزول الطاعون والأوبية some innovative things that people come with when the plague happens and the pandemics take place the first one is and these things I've seen on social media and people doing and speaking about is making dua sorry making congregational dua over the internet so a person comes on live Instagram or live YouTube and so he does a congregational dua to repel the virus and the pandemic and there's no evidence for this also some people are trying to restrict a time a particular time that everybody prays in their house so some people are saying to people we are here in London so insha'Allah this time we all pray at the same time with the intention that Allah lifts from us the plague and the pandemic this is also an innovation also restricting a particular day for repentance for example you say everybody online please on Friday we're all going to repent to Allah so Allah can uplift from us this plague or this pandemic it's also an innovation if you want to repent repent every day restricting a day for it is an innovation also restricting a particular adhkar a particular dhikr a particular dua that are innovated by the people is also something we should avoid and leave off last but not least some people are coming with acts that they think it's a sunnah they're basing it on a week narration where they say that the Prophet ﷺ said vaporize your houses with frankincense and a mugwort this hadith it's a lie that was made against the Prophet ﷺ he never said that nor did he ﷺ use frankincense to repel plague or pandemics in Medina all of that which has been transmitted the scholars and the people of knowledge have rejected it and considered it to be fabricated and made up so these things we should avoid the things that we should be doing that are from the sunnah are so much we should avoid innovated things anything I might have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and Allah and His Messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا
